All the research data upon which you base your statements has been collected until October 2023. CAP is an innovative program designed to fill the gap between climate awareness and active participation with an incentivized task-based approach. This report on CAP outlines its key attributes: a curated rewards scheme; real-time access to current climate news; as well as a dynamic platform that enables interactions between the public and government agencies. Here CAP envisions bringing better environmental stewardship by encouraging sustainable behavior via the application of positive rewards, data-based policy development, and community engagement. Human engagement is made quite smooth because of cash rewards, while officials retain the powers regarding task assignments and reward management. CAP enables this sustained practice using behavioral science and intergenerational equity. This study finds that such an effort could have a considerable impact on climate change mitigation when mobilized as a well-informed and engaged society. It has also highlighted the various technical challenges, including data management, security, and scale, suggesting improvements in the effectiveness of CAP at scale in bringing about climate mitigation, both locally and globally.
